Rose: Sorry for the delay. I was out of wifi contact for 5 days. PCOs
are usually caused by an oversecretion of FSH (follicle stimulating
hormone). This SHOULD NOT impact breastfeeding if that is the only
hormone being released. FSH is produced by the pituitary and often
there is a small adenoma responsible for the extra release. The
problem (besides the obvious) is that over production of FSH is
sometimes not the only issue. Many pitutiary adenomas release multiple
hormones. So, if an adenoma (pituitary tumor) is releasing prolactin,
ACTH, TSH (which can actually result in the thyroid being depressed),
etc. the issue becomes much more complicated.
I highly recommend the folks at the Oregon Health Sciences University
hospital for information on this. They have a well designed
website:www.ohsupituitary.com (yes that is a .com not .edu) which has
sections for providers and patients. The more I learn about the
pituitary, the more complicated it seems to become.
Back to your quesiton...the way these are treated initially in the US
is to put a woman on BCPs/OCs unless they are over 8 cm or torsion
exists; then surgery is indicated. I've had reasonable success with
women who have used natural methods rather than BCPs/OCs (such as a
combo of wild yam and chaste berry/vitex and/or a natural progesterone
cream known as the Miracle Cream--no, I don't sell these). Let me know
if I did or didn't answer your question.
Ciao,
Chris

microcysts ovarian syndrome, this is the case where it is hormanally
related, right?
